ozo_emeka: Smh. "BAD MOUTHING" ?? Really? You uneducated folks kill with that bull

So the Professors at Harvard that write papers on the state of the Economy are "BAD MOUTHING" the economy?

or are they just stating facts? Your doctor telling you you are ill is BAD MOUTHING you??

No one is saying you must "double hustle" . Your will and drive determine how far you go in life REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE. How are Dangote and Adenuga LIVING in Nigeria and coming in as the RICHEST BLACK MEN IN THE WORLD?

ozo_emeka: Unfortunately FOR YOU. Things are BEAUTIFUL for me. I was born here, I attend college here.

The pictures ARE REALITY. Stop deluding yourself.


You "live in america" and "are doing well" yet you can't forge a simple sentence? I see how "well" you are doing

barack_o_handso: I said it before, the OP is passing the right message in the wrong way. Badmouth USA all you want, millions are trooping in every year. Everyone wants to live the American dream. I get where the OP is getting at: more like 'you must double-hustle' to survive in the states.

@ alala dakosta, just answer these few questions.

Can an average Nigerian arrive in the USA today and expect to be catered for without doing little or no work?

Can an average Nigerian without an excellent academic qualification get a good job that pays well?

Can an average Nigerian survive bad weathers and or will not be subjected to racist chants?

Are bills not directly proportional to how well you work (or even inversely sef)?

barack_o_handso:


That's my point.
A typical Nigerian will have to experience being given a banana before accepting that racism is for real in America/Europe.
Your points are valid, but there have been people who survived them, even if not much, but telling people the down sides of USA while you're doing okay there sounds selfish on your part, they'll think you don't want them to experience it.

alala dakosta:

lol, bobo focus on the message am trying to pass accros, leave my poor english conpositn.as u claim, if thingz really beautiful for u, u no go come nairalnad dey complain as like say obama collect bread for ur hand.who ask u for reality? all my friends wey i meet wey dem born here i never hear anyone complain, dem dey even try to b file for their other sibling back home.so, bobo quit hating abeg. give them the good side, encourage them. no dey say yankee bad. i no wan hear. and no complain about my english again o abeg.

Lucasbalo: . You are what we call " useful idiot " . Being born in the US doesn't make any difference to me. That's why I didn't reply ur email. By the way, I got my MBA from Loyola University. A lot of natural born Americans are homeless. So u being born in the U S has no effect on me. To me u are a brainless ( Bambino ). Won't even comment anymore to your senseless post.

ozo_emeka: If you "focused on your english" you will grasp the DIFFERENCE between

Complaining

and

Stating Facts


Discussing actual events and allowing people have facts, is NOT complaining. Did I ever include myself in my posts? No

So again, the root of your problem here is simple comprehension

Did I EVER say the US was a bad country?

Again, the root of the issue here is C-O-M-P-R-E-H-E-N-S-I-O-N. I suggest READING my posts before typing

This woman is so dull!
All this guy is trying to do is help people make informed decisions before migrating

alala dakosta:

hey hold it!!! mr know all. why dont u go apply for a lecturing job instead coming here complaining bout ur miserable life in another mans country. dey their dey talk oyinbo, make me dey make my cool $$$. will hire u to teach my kids english.

spongeback: This woman is so dull!

Originalsly: Moderator...why is this thread not on front page? Is it not topics like this that bring traffic to the site?

alala dakosta:

u must be stupid, where did u come from without leash on your neck? informed decitn before migrating my foot. go thru his post in see the " information"his bn dishing out. if u need right info goto " dvlottery winner meet here thread" and see what they call right info for intending travellers. not this yankee bashing thread. dont quote me again in ur life.

Lucasbalo: . Who ask for his help ?. When did he become an official Nairaland visa counsellor ? . The guy is nothing but a bum. He is just a loser with no job. Anyone can come on Nairaland and spit out a lot of junk. He is just a vile human debris.

god_of_music: I asked you how do Black Americans see the Nigerian Pidgin english and you started confusing me with your BIG Grammers... Don't worry I will not move this to the frontpage if you don't answer me

fittty:

We have the best moderator I've noticed so far on Nairaland and trust me he did a great job by not putting this on the front page.. Common who will be so stupid to put a topic like this on the front page? YOU CANT COMPARE THE USA WITH NIGERIA. And that's why the thread never hit the front page!!!

god_of_music: I asked you how do Black Americans see the Nigerian Pidgin english and you started confusing me with your BIG Grammers... Don't worry I will not move this to the frontpage if you don't answer me

ozo_emeka: If you can show me JUST ONE LINE where I "BASHED" the US

then You win.

JUST ONE

Originalsly: So this is why the topic is not moved to front page? Is this your question not derailing the thread?...violating your own rules? Your question is a good one but ignored only because it is in the wrong place. Abeg...stop holding the thread hostage and release it to FP.

ozo_emeka: One thing Nairaland has taught me; I have learned that so many Nigerians living in Nigeria want anything BUT Nigeria. Some make it a lifelong MISSION to come to America where they "believe" it is the "LAND OF THE FREE" and "ANYONE" can make it. These Nigerians save and save and hustle to DO ANYTHING to come to "America" / Yankee. They give up EVERYTHING they ever had or knew to come and "enjoy" greener pastures (or so their TVs informed them). However 5 years into staying in America they realize that Life was more manageable than they could ever imagine in America. Here are some pointers on the REAL AMERICA, to those living in America feel free to add in.


1. America is NOT FUN when you do not know anybody. If you are coming here "on your own" and THINK you can easily "settle down", think again. You need an address at the airport and almost everything you need to do here requires an address. Ekene your "guy" from primary 6 can only allow you stay in his house for so long before he will require you to pay rent. Tosin your paddy from Lagos is not going to be your guide forever which leads to the next bit

2.Nothing is free in America. Absolutely nothing. DO NOT expect Okwudili to give you a ride to work, he will ask you for gas money. You are either going to join Okwudili in "hustling" or get your own life, which you will learn is HARD especially for immigrants.

3. Life is toughER for Immigrants in America. From not having a SSN to get jobs, to people simply discriminating for your "accent". You will LEARN that America is not the least bit tolerant for immigrants. Especially if you come to places that are predominantly white. Unfortunately what I end up seeing Nigerians adopt is the "akata" way. A LOT of them end up trying to speak ebonics and they just sound stupid and ridiculous. "nigggaz is tryna hoop yo". No. Your azz never hooped before when did you become a "niggga tryna hoop"?


4. Dressing. Appearance is EVERYTHING [img]http://loladesowoolu.files./2011/02/dis-n-dart-eldee.jpg[/img]

These are NOT, repeat, NOT "american" dressing. The earlier you learn the better. The "americans" who dress that way are SEVERELY DISCRIMINATED AND MARGINALIZED in society. Sure you may say, well the "wealthy" american hiphop stars dress that way....Guess what. Those who do are DISCRIMINATED against. Don't believe me - check...a lot end up in jail etc. The "REAL wealthy ones" a la Jay z and Sean Combs DO NOT, dress that way. A word is enough for the wise.

5. You learn quickly that America is NOT the land of the free and get crammed up with "the rest" so 5 years in you start to fight hard to PROVE you are not like "THEM". You get mad when people say you are "black"

6. The America on TV is NOT the same as the REAL America. The skyscrapers and beautiful scenes from Tv shows and movies are just in a few places. Downtown, NYC, Miami, LA, DC. Just like you have SOME VERY beautiful places in Abuja, and Lagos. The real america, sometimes looks like this

Oakland California
Atlanta
Atlanta
Washington DC, couple blocks from the White House, you can see this mess from the white house

ozo_emeka: You're salty I see. I struck a nerve when I called out your low class MBA? So you resort to cheap shots?
Let me CORRECT your facts, you are NOT GOOD at FACTS anyway

1. I am in college, an IVY ( A REAL SCHOOL, not LU C)
2. I have a job EVEN IN COLLEGE. I work at the executive level with DIRECT contact with CEOs and COOs - it's no "shocking factor" i know so much information.
3. I am not a "VISA counselor" that's a petty job, something someone with your level of MBA should be doing. I don't even know the first thing about how to get a visa.

4. You getting mad and calling FACTS junk does not MAKE IT junk, sadly. The world is sphere. If you are angry at that and call that junk does that "automatically" change the world into a square? No, it just shows how stupid you are.

5. If you can point out ONE JUNK just ONE then you win and your MBA is valid.

6. EVERY SINGLE statistic I have pulled out have sources (including the statistics on your corner school)

7. You know what civilized people do when they are upset? They argue OBJECTIVELY and LOGICALLY. They don't get emotional.

8. If you are "so successful" (as you keep lying to yourself) then why is the FACT that I point out that the US has homeless people, the US IS not the number one in so many issues people THINK they are number one in, the US has the highest rate of incarceration REALLY eating you?

Something you're not telling us? Are you in the US with forged "papers" Immigrant? You want me to call the INS on you?

This is serious and we are curious.
Is it true?? https://www.nairaland.com/1424201/rumors-being-moderator-nairaland

god_of_music:

longer a nairalander! I quit it!! I'm
OUT!!! https://www.nairaland.com/1442348/banned-nothing-quit-nairaland#18193631

ozo_emeka: One thing I have learned is that Nigerians can really be blocked heads. No wonder the west just uses you all and takes you for a big ride. I see why now. The way you all "SEE THINGS" is amazing.

1. Did I ever "COMPARE" the US to Nigeria? What is the title of this thread?

Originalsly: Comparing USA to Nigeria...is that the topic? If it were the topic I would agree with you....but that is not the topic. You guys tire me.
